Verdant Robotics’ Spraybox currently eliminates weeds by using organic and conventional spray liquids. A laser-based solution is prototyped and in development. It offers working widths for bed configurations between 30 and 84 inches with capacities up to 2.4 ha/h.
Weeds to deal with are ideally 1-4 cm in diameter, but it can eliminate 10-17 cm diameter weeds. It targets weeds as close as millimetres to the plants in all specialty row crops such as carrots, garlic, onions, leafy greens and vegetables and tomatoes with plans for alfalfa, cotton, maize, soybean and turf. The cameras capture both weeding result and the crop status.
